[edit] Start-class

I gave this a start-class rating based on its length and some grammatical errors. Unfortunately, I have little time to improve this myself, but anyone wishing to do so may of course do so. 74.132.62.250 23:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It is rather odd to use the term "increasing returns to scale" for a short run expansion with fixed costs. Check out Nicholson or other standard undergraduate micro text. Increasing returns to scale is usually treated as synonomous with economies of scale and the term "increasing returns" (without "to scale", by analogy with "diminishing returns") is used for the idea mentioned. This could be increasing returns to labor, or increasing returns to output, but "scale" is explicitly reserved by most micro teachers for the long run choice of plant size or other capacity decision.
